Her Royal Husband

Jordon is a single mother raising her adorable daughter in the town that she grew up in. She does not believe in fairy tails and happily ever after because her one experience with that ended badly. Prince Owen Penwick just got kidnapped and thinks about the one summer he spent free and his love for Jordon, whom the kidnappers know about and try to find. Jordon and Owen or Ben Prince as he called himself met the summer that they were 18 in a summer program in California. They were assigned to due a project together. This led to them falling in love. Owen had gotten permission to go to California only long enough for the class, but was granted further time to be with Jordon. Several weeks later when another request to stay longer was denied he rebelled and went to live with Jordon. Weeks later Owen was back in Penwick, by force and Jordon was back in Connecticut after finding out she was pregnant with "Ben's" baby. Both situations leading to their current state affairs, one a single mom, the other a prisoner. Owen is saved and his mother the Queen puts together a banquet to celebrate her son's homecoming. She needs someone to cater this banquet however and asks Jordon's aunt to do the honors. Jordon, her aunt, and daughter go to Penwick to cater the banquet. However one of the first people Jordon sees is Prince Owen. At first she is mad at him for not telling her who he was, but she can't stay mad at him and soon sparks are flying between them all over again. A very good, entertaining book

Ok, frankly it takes an author of Cara Colter's skill to make a plot like this worth your time, but she has indeed done it. After a brief summer fling that left her pregnant and alone, Jordan Ashbury (actually a student, not a model) thought she'd never see Ben Prince again. But years later, with her young daughter in tow, Jordan travels to the tiny island nation of Penwyck(e) to help her aunt cater a royal celebration, only to (very nearly literally) run into her child's father, the heir apparent, Prince Owen Michael Penwycke. Yes, it sounds cheesy, but this story actually works. Both Jordan and Owen are refreshingly multidimensional characters, the development of their relationship is not utterly predictable, and forgiveness and the true meaning of nobility are explored here. So you can put up with the whole royalty thing. Really.

Don't be thrown by the opening adventure writing, this is a romance suspense novel. A man escapes captivity partly by focusig on the people whose lives have touched in the most. Number one, not of his royal crowd, is Jordan an American model. They meet up where he finds out that Jordan has been raising their daughter... tense and tease in just the right places.
